Fund objective

The aim of the Fund is to provide income with the potential to grow the amount you invested. The Fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in bonds (which are similar to a loan and pay a fixed or variable interest rate) issued by companies and governments in emerging markets. The average duration of the bonds the Fund invests in will be five years or less. Duration is the sensitivity of a bond to a change in interest rates. The longer the duration of a bond, the higher its sensitivity to interest rates will be. Where the Fund invests in bonds that are not priced in US Dollars, the Fund may take measures that aim to mitigate the risk of currency movements against the US Dollar. The Fund makes active investment decisions. The Fund may also invest in asset classes and instruments different from those stated above.
